Show off the scenery in your comic!

[FaithWalkers]

Here are random ones from "Crystal Casualty!"

My backgrounds probably aren't the fanciest but I always try to include some interesting details/quirks that show off the world, even if it's just a dumb sign or two. Anyway, here's a couple of background-heavy pages of Drugs & Wires I'm quite happy with:

Seeing as my comic Glamour is set in a small rural town, most of the scenery is just ominous forests and dreamscapes so far but I do love taking a generally simple bg and using it to really impact the tone of the page. I really need to work on my indoor environments but that's a hurtle I'll deal with when it comes lol

[agentfink]

I draw a lot of... rocks... roads... and scrub...

[Vikiro_Hop]

My backgrounds are pretty shit but here is a stick I drew for the occasion.

[zaksimmondshurn]

Here's a background I was pretty happy with from my latest page of Monstrosity!

[hades]

I've actually grown to looooove drawing backgrounds.
Here are some of my favs so far...

[kimfountain]

Some of my scenery is pretty basic, but they often hold the best background jokes. And then others are usually cram packed with detail and I sometimes think these are the ones I like best.

I dont mind scenery so long as its nature, im really good at greenery, mountains, rocks, oceans sky all that jazz. but as soon as we get into building lord have mercy on my soul. i even learn architecture (until i found out it wanst my thing cough) The last two pages are apart of my comic Starlit, but its not posted since its a holiday special.

forest!! = O

indoors / plaza inside a city = x

Opportunities is mostly set in a big fancy hotel but we haven't had a lot of chance to really show it off just yet. There's some more really cool scenery coming. Here's what we've got so far.

This one I'm most pleased with. Even with using a source to trace an outline from for perspective etc, it still took many hours!

Loving this thread! Some really good posts here with a variety of imagery

I was actually inspired to create my current comic, Alternate Character, while I was drawing some video game landscape art. Since I'm imagining an MMORPG for the comic, scenery is a very important part of it. It's the most time-consuming aspect of my comic-making, but I love doing it <3

[artsy_oleander]

Oh, the scenery in my comic, Me and My Friend, was my favorite part. Then again, it was all mainly trees, sooo....

Here's a scene I made that takes place in a field of wheat. I'm really happy how it turned out. The comic is King of Israel: https://tapastic.com/series/King-of-Israel

I also posted this in another thread as it is the latest page I have done:

It's a combination of Soviet Modernism and Brutalism. :3c

[tomatobird]

Wow! I love the perspective on this!! And Soviet Brutalism/Modernism (were you thinking of constructivism as well??) is one of my favorite aesthetics and it looks really great here. I've been thinking of incorporating it into another story of mine, even though doing perspective is such a chore even WITH the perspective tool, haha. Great job and thanks for sharing!!!

[tomatobird]

A simple day-to-night exterior scene from my comic Agapetos that I was really happy with. The linework gave me trouble but I'm happy with how the lighting and texture turned out!

[Symphorians]

Wow! I'm so impressed by the variety of backgrounds in this thread.
Here's a night time jungle waterfall from Symphorians

And a beach scene that I thought turned out okay.

I have begun using some 3D tools to work on back grounds, but before I had that brainwave I worked on this piece from scratch. It's from an upcoming page in the current issue of HOTWAB

I did this city scene from scratch too for an Entervoid character, (bigger pic's here) but yeah it's 3D tools from now on. Backgrounds suck, but they're a necessary evil
